Jovian Mandagie for ZALORA: Pieces of Art for Raya 2015

5/11/2015

ZALORA unveiled an exclusive collection from Jovian Mandagie during a private showcase event at Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC Theatre). I was very excited for the show because I just couldn't guess what to expect. It's at the theatre. Surely, it is theatrical!

Jovian Mandagie for ZALORA, brought to you by Maybank, features 63 looks that incorporates the Art-Deco theme for Raya 2015. Yup. 63 looks! This year, Jovian teamed up with Luna Maya, the renowned stylish Indonesian actress to represent the collection.

Because her name also means 'Moon' and 'Illusion', the show started with the theatre hall being pitched black! The curtains opened and revealed a huge lighted ball and a lady in black, dancing, with her silhouette against the 'moon'. It was so beautiful. As were the pieces.

“This collaborative collection is all about re-conceptualizing the idea of simplicity with the distinctive line inspired by Art Deco prints, where every single print is personally designed to let women of just about any age embrace the strength in them”, said Jovian Mandagie. He further explained, “I have always been fascinated with the luxury of an Art Deco concept from those favorite vintage archives to the architecturally minded photo shoots I’ve seen in modern times that portray the 20’s in the most lavishly attuned images.”

As you can see, the pieces are like pieces of art deco. Jovian played with everything, this year, with this broad concept: geometrics, beads and prints. The mix is truly a work of art. There was one piece that caught my eye the moment it came out. Lucky guesses which?

After all the collections were shown, Luna Maya came in with these flawy dramatic cape, followed by Jovian himself.

This collection is for every woman to celebrate the true heritage of fashion revolution with rich detailing and it is catered exclusively for this Raya season. Price of this collection ranges from RM430 to RM600.
